This is by far the most useful video I have ever seen about an Android Tool. if someone explained the gradle hell like this it would amazing.

[@deepin2u]

Agreed! This is how Tutuorials SHOULD be DONE on ANYTHING! As a pro in I.T. for Window s Desktops, Cisco CUME, etc I instruct or trained many colleagues to get up to speed fast and I adjust based on their knowledge background or their accument to learning speed. Well done. PS: Found this totorial while looking up Forencsic Tools guides and info for Android yet when I searched months ago I could not find it.

@@BenKadel sir can we use adb for data extraction from a specific application like web scraping sir

[@mateuszskupny9665]

Alright... How can I overcome the obstacle from 5:13 if my device has a broken screen and the main goal of using ADB was to extract data such as phone numbers, text messages, and photos? Is it going to be possible to access the phone without touching it?

Hello. Came accross your video today and wonder if you could help. My Chinese radio car unit got frozen on android logo. I have dawnloaded adb, but it is not reognizing it (adb list of attached devices empty). I have resolved daemon not runnning issue, but adb still do not see the device. I did mannaged to connect my phone and adb recognized it, so I am guessing that drivers are up to date. I am running out of ideas. Also manual restart does not work. I would be gratefull for any ideas on how to resolve it.

Hi Ben, Thank you for the cool video. I learnt and enjoyed it. Just wanted to check 1- How to mirror the android device? So that whatever I do in the laptop will be reflected to the physical phone/ emulator. 2- Can we execute such commands on the phone without connecting it to the PC/laptop? (For example, I have an android phone in another country, can I control it remotely?

wireless adb is a thing but only within the same network so youd need to establish a vpn tunnel into your home wifi and then use wireless adb.

[@MontyVideo969]

Great video. Except that I can't seem to get beyond *>adb devices* command which, on first attempt (maybe), displays eg. "234876482743 offline". I have ensured *USB Debugging* is enabled and *Stay Awake* and the *Android System* is set for Media Device (MTP). I have also done *adb kill-server* and *adb start-server*. Each time I try something the *adb devices* command now lists no devices whatsoever. Any ideas?

[@danielwi2634]

Any idea of any subcommand to check if there is newer version of the chrome app and android system view available on the Google Play store ? As a tester it would be useful to have some phones connected via usb hub and weekly check which device is behind.
